Adding Fresh Thymes to Vegetable Recipes

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Lori Schneider with Figs Catering in Austin, Texas. On behalf of Expert Village today we are going to show you how to make roasted root vegetables. So now I'm going to add some fresh thyme to our mix here and thyme is a really great earthy herb. It is really great for fall types food cause like I said it is really earthy, it has a really wonderful flavor. So I'm going to remove a few stems from my bunch of thyme and I'm simply going to over my sheet pan just pull the leaves off into the pan just like so. The leaves in thyme are definitely eatable, they are very woody so keep that in mind. You definitely don't want to get that into your herbs. You can just actually just lightly leave the stems in there and they fish them out later. But I really like the look of having a little small thyme leaves, it has a really nice presentation. Almost done with that and if you don't care for thyme and you don't have fresh thyme or it is not available in your area you can definitely use dry thyme. Dry thyme is very opulent it needs a little bit less. But go ahead and add in about a teaspoon or so of dry thyme. Okay and that is all of our thyme leaves. "
